Broadkill Beach Frame Deployment

Photo journal of Nicole Raineault's study site, Broadkill Beach, and her instrument frame.

Here, Nicole is doing some final programming of her instruments. On the left, the red instrument is an Imagenex Rotary Beam Sonar for collecting images of the reef. On the right, the gray and black instrument is a Nortek instrument used for measuring water currents.

Learning to use the handheld GPS.

Doug and Adam watch as two field workers map GPS coordinates around the outside of the reef. The coordinates will be used to mark a path for the AUV.

Figuring out the last details for the deployment.

We'll be back in a few weeks to remove the frame and then redeploy it on the beach side of the reef.
